Fuel pump, was it doing hard starting in the morning?

Not only morning

Sharon Ezinne you r d most stupid human on earth, I'm an Igbo person but just grow out of tribalism, we are talking about life here, it could have been your brother.

franksam2009:
I had same issue,. It's either one of ur spark plug HV failed or plug coil, or fuel pump,. But mine was one spark plug... Plz make sure u scan be4 u change anything, my mechanic nearly changed my fuel pump be4 I eventually scanned d OBD nd found out it was plug no3

I'm used to changing fuel pump, this is d 4th time if I change dis one, barely 3 days interval my reserve light don't come up... Bad habit I guess, but every 3k most give account of what it can produce

Don't know why my car choose this season, stopped in traffic 3 times now, my oga's in the house please what could be the reason, temperature is at normal and not overheating

Night is cool, but...

0ubenji:
I sincerely hope u used protection.

Lol! My bad, I mean we chat all through. Beside, I'm a professional, I know where to draw d line, one have to be careful, before I end up looking stupid.

Tgiirl:
Whenever there is heavy traffic everywhere, more drivers hardly drive cos it is no longer worth it. Even with 1.8x surge still not worth it driving in traffic

Only fahraz drive, he likes work, even when you are not paying him, driving is just his hobby *Run outta trend*

Even the 8400, anybody that complete the 21 trips will need to go an explain him/herself at taxify office. They will personally invite the person over a cup of tea to tell them what they don't know

chucsmoore:
Lol. One has to work smart. No business man opens business to be at loss but to make profit.

100 percent.

shollywendy1:
I spent 1.34mins inside adekunle trafic trying to pick up at Herbert marcauly . Though it was a surge 1.5x going to okeira ogba.
She can not even cancel as most uber cars too were in the trafic.
She just patiently waited

Lol, you are lucky? Rider cancelled on me yesterday, under bridge Ikeja and I was so happy cos I was chasing bonus, just turned and park. Sadly, I only did 4/5

shollywendy1:
Good talk. The more trips u do, the more money u make than the time spent on a trip in a trafic

This I have notice during the weekend and Monday, I'll rather safe my energy for tomorrow

chucsmoore:
heavy traffic everywhere. How you want take enjoy d surge. I just go park for house jeje, can't be wasting fuel in traffic.

Lol... Same tin here, saw the traffic building everywhere ard 3:30, I just didn't waste time to find my way home. Wot I saw yesterday shall not repeat itself again. From Ikeja to jibowu on taxify card trip, fun and talky rider, the girl and I chatted all through the traffic, even before I ended the trip, she gave me 500 naira for drink, only to end trip and saw 700 naira, I weak. Immediately another request entered to ogba around 7 30pm, we spent 1:40mins from jibowu to ogba, the traffic was from palmgrove to ojota, end trip and saw 1700. I vowed never to drive in traffic again. Its a pure waste of time, resource and energy.

The problem with this kind of pickup location is that, they are going to the next street

I'll just give her the car key and home address, when she's done, let her return the car

I'll b right back, got a pick up to attend too

ifyeez:
This is the height of stupidity, how can someone be so foolish and foolishly record this rubbish, wait wait wait this can be one of those online skit/joke, because drivers name and face was not posted.

Do you know we driver are the highest kiss ass.

We welcome you to our car

We greet you, some can't even acknowledge the greeting like,
Thank you they will keep mute even tho they heard you real good

We get insulted easily, riders are easy to say all this useless Uber driver.

Some will be so rude to you even tho deep down you know you're far beta than them.

Some will insult you for what another driver might have to them, coz in there mind we drivers are same.

Some after forming big boy and slay mama can't afford to pay complete fair, they will now calm down to tell you bros no vex.

Some even with your AC at the fullest, they will still tell you oga is this AC on self, then you ve to calmly apologize, even tho you know there's nothing wrong with ur AC.

We listen to some dry jokes even tho we might not like it, we still laugh just to make the rider comfortable and get good rating.

Some are really really nice too.

We take all sort of things coz we are not like those danfo drivers, we are learnered, and we understand serving public especially Nigerians is not easy.

I know if am not driving, 90% of them can't even look at me in the eyes, because my packaging always outshine them.

We still maintain the rating of 4.6-4.9. It's goes up and down coz you can't please everybody

My dad always said calm down you can't serve someone for ever.
So I take anything you throw at me coz I know after the trip, you're irrelevant in my life, and may not come in contact with you again, so I continue the ass licking with pride until I stop driving for the platform.

PAY ME MY MONEY THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT.

You r d boss... Thumbs up

DEGREE2466:
I watched this video on Facebook. That driver must be a member of this thread.

I mean, how can a driver have the gut to attack a rider like that? What happens to good customer service. That was terrible and I felt for the lady.

I can't imagine ordering an Uber with my hard earned money only for somebody to spoil my day like that.

The guy should be the one to greet and looking at that lady, she seems older than the driver.

And to think the driver recorded the video excluding himself and thinking that he's anonymous is ludicrous.

All Uber needs to do is to contact the rider, fish out the driver, and block his As$. What an unruly behavior.

Please, let's not take everything written here serious oo.

My mind tell me its Ifyeez on d drag *Run outta trend*

Irrespective of drivers creating awareness for their respect, I feel respect should b earn and not demanded for, you can't force someone to give what they don't have. Sometimes how a trip is going to look like will tell from the phone conversation, if you are not please with the person at the other end, frustrate the trip by all means. A lady once enter my car and I know this is not just my kind of trip, I use style put car for drive, crack the engine tire, me I don't have anywhere I'm going to, when she tire, she cancel the trip. The last thing I can do is to argue with a rider or start playing defend, how I have an official job or is side hustle (My move, my business, what I have behind my door, is nobody's business).

Funny things I learn, how you arrive is the price you are worth, have a pack of juice and some goodies by the car sit side for more than a week now, barely any rider that enters and won't feel like, is this for me... Jokely nooo, myself need to refresh, from dia, we laff and trip goes on, but in my mind, drink wey don pass one week for under sun, you are so on your own if you drink em. To the drivers; trips don't last forever, just endure till you drop whatsoever beast/demon as presumed and let them go, any trips that last forever, means your last.

ifyeez:
Me am waiting for the time only,
make dem sha no joke with me, because I worked hard for dis

Me don chop my own, off app, house I go... If my grandma request for me, kolework!

Emlegacytimi:
Hello everyone. I have really learnt a lot from you all. Have bn following the thread for a while now.. I need your help. Am new to ridesharing. Like 2 weeks old. But I was just thinking about asking which of the ridesharing app is better or is there a time to go online on taxify or on Uber in Lagos?

Its a tug war, no one can really be precise, just try both and flow with whichever one suits your intention.

8/9 down 1 to go... Hrs problem only 1 cancel, if taxify tell me finishing story, nah to d*e dia

chucsmoore:
I miss d surge, was somewhere at ikorodu yesterday night till this morning. Got an offline trip of 8k , I cldnt reject the offer. It was a good one. From Anthony to ikorodu.

Boss nah wah for u ooo , you collect 2.9 surge still deh eye 1.9

BillGoldberg:
No be small thing!! Taxifada or we die here!!

Lol... Nah soh

BillGoldberg:
To prospective drivers who are new in this business... Hear me out... Especially if you are driving for someone. I have driven for 2 people before. One ended well only that owner was bankrupt and sold off car. The other client refused to service the car and I simply went and parked car jejely. These are some things I have learnt so far in this venture...

*Mind What you sign up for before carrying a car. Many cars being given to drivers are dead cars waiting for mortuary. I kid you not.

*With the unbearable traffic jam in Lagos now and taxify slashing prices, the least you can do now is between 25-28k... With the grace of God oo. Because should LASTMA or Police catch you defaulting while hustling, your whole week money is gone! I kid you not. Car owner does not send you!

*With many drivers now on both platforms, the future of Uber and taxify in Nigeria is almost good as dead. Many graduates are now drivers. Failed businessmen are also turning to Uber. Problematic business issues have also turned so many people into drivers. Yours sincerely fall into this category. What this implies is that supply somehow outweighs demands. So drivers, use your sense and mind what you sign up for!

*On no account should you carry out any repairs whatsoever be it 1,000 on the car. Inasmuch as you give owner between 28-30 k weekly and you are consistent. All repairs are to be carried out by car owner! But make sure you are consistent with the money you remit per week! Because from there, your tool of hustle will be maintained.

*Remember that your daily target should be at least 15k! Anything less than this is deceivin yourself. Let me break it down for you. 5k to car owner, 5k for fuel, 3k to settle both Uber and taxify commissions and then 1k for you! You see how stupid this business is? Because whether you like it or not, you must settle Uber and taxify and you must buy up to 5k Fuel! Have you seen Lagos traffic of late? I see when some drivers make 13k daily and are happy. Hahahahahahaha... Folly at its peak! Are you aware that within that 13k is your 5k fuel for next day? 5k for car owner that day? And almost 2k for 15% commission Settlement for the platforms you are driving on? And you have to eat for the day and pay other bills? Do you still think its a profitable venture?

*From my experience driving for someone of late... I discovered after 3 weeks that am just driving and making money for the car owner with nothing for myself! Because the terms and conditions of this business have changed drastically! Had to drop car.. So, look for a reasonable and sensible partner that understands a 50-50 situation for both driver and partner so that everybody is happy. Gospel truth.

*Many car rentals give out malfunctioning cars or bad cars to prospective drivers. More often than not, the driver before you is a very bad one and has damaged the car almost. Before you pick up a new car being given to you by either a partner or a fleet, do your due diligence and inspect that car well! Make sure that everything is 98% in order. Demand that fuel be given to you. At least half tank. All these is to make sure that you start running! If they expect 100% from you, why can't the tool given to you be in a 100%? Take this fact to the bank of you ever want to be succesful in this.

*Do not be deceived of how drivers are making millions. Its all wash. No driver is making that currently. Maybe before... But now? Lies lies lies! This stuff is not a business venture. I see it as something you use and hold body and soul together till you regain your feet or something better comes your way...

I will be contributing more of my experiences as time goes on.

You've done well boss, these things are the reason for the strike the other day, but one ITK that neva commented on this platform b4 was busy making money while others are pushing for strike. I hope he still feed from that day earning or prolly the earning have changed any major thing in his life. I was at a verge of getting another car, but I just held the idea back, I'll rather put money into other business then to give out car to a driver. Even if you make 2k for yourself all day (which is not certain), at the end of the month you can't save up to 20k to yourself, what's the essence of endangering once life? Partners keep denying the fact that these things exist and find a way to make up for best car that is suitable for the business... The next shift in price to favour riders again will obviously kick the almighty corolla and kia Rio out of business, maybe from their golf 3 will take over, if things are not done, driver will pull up with byke to pick rider one day and claimed he/she requested for taxifada. Just watching from afar, while I meant not to disrespect anyone, cos I've learnt couple of things and as well been inspired by the comrades here.

drestoneokuta:
Why taxify they do like this? I completed the bonus meant for Sunday, they credited my account with the bonus that very day, only for me to check back today to see that it has disappeared!! Please how can I reclaim my bonus? Why will they stoop so low in doing this?

.

Sorry boss they use finishing rate to get you... Mine was Friday/Saturday 4400... I kept getting distance request of 17/20 minutes, even before I place call on rider, they've cancelled it. Lo nd behold I got my 4400 and was so pleased when they add my bonus, only to check on Sunday evening and it has been removed due to less finishing rate. See para and ranting, don't know why they have to give me bread and take it back again, its beta they let me know my fate same day but all I could get is sorry for inconvenience. Well I was able to get the 3600 without any cancellation, but my mind is zero towards it, they can even send zenith account and ask for refund with time. Nah so taxify mumu reach, no structure atall.

JustSomeDude:
Olamide dey feel say him dey wealthy or na wetin. He think say wealth na to acquire liabilities. How much e worth for stocks, bonds, real estate and some other financial securities? Me know say me broke but wen dem dey talk about wealth, make Olamide quiet, abeg

Don't know much about him, but I've sighted 3 of his filling stations 'Richbams" and I'm sure in his in for more, for a dude like that who raised from the grass to that height, please give em some credit.

Epphy:
Are the 'Taxify' category partners having same issue?

This one that this thing has persisted and if one reviews, they still put the same fare; I'm having a feeling Taxify has further reduced fares without announcing.

They have reduce price drastically, the only difference now is you get request more and stupid long distance pick up.... The only way to make up is just their bonus, which will drop rating.

Looking for someone that will teach me salt, pepper, maggi, curry and any other spice.

How can they place 26 trips for 2 days? That's wickedness, they would have just extend it till Sunday, so guys can pick between their faith and taxify.

slamstanlee:
how much dem dey sell am

Take the old one to dealer, prolly you might get a discount of 3k on the new price. They might end up saying 23k to original and 17k for you know... Either way I don't trust any dealer

slamstanlee:
Abeg someone suggest a good korea battery(name) and price. I need to change mine before Christmas

Arnold! How much you go pay?

.

iyaegin:
Anytime I see taxify drivers grumbling about reduced fares all I keep hearing in my head is welcome to our club.we are already used to those fares on Uber....

Taxify is worst now..
I wish all driver will just switch to uber

Angrydaveed:
Bros I sabi wetin u dey talk,but remember say because all these social media don dey now... people dey ready to talk anything for mouth just to get people attention

Yep! I get what you r saying, but I can tell you from the little I know about her, she's fragile and easy to flow with.
